I've seen this in Florida sinkholes before. A concrete floor without adequate rebar.  :pullinghair:

It most certainly is.  I think it's terrible when anyone experiences a loss like this.  Only a callous, self centered fool would feel otherwise.
Well my post from last night got deleted so I'll post it again.
I agree, it's a damn shame some folks can't appreciate all walks (or rides) of life. Can't appreciate their style and performance and knowing these cars too are a part of history.
It's a damn shame folks can get a kick or laugh out of this even if the vehicles are not mopars.

When I first read about this I was kind of indifferent because my first though was "a crovette museum" one of the 100 out there.

I am a car guy I like everything on wheels from your crovette to that sweet pacer.

Some of the cars aren't a huge loss and they will all get restored but still not nice to see a buch of classics go down.

I'd love to see a pic of that 65 fuelie.

I`m not much of a vette fan but losing any historic car is still a shame. I went to  that museum a few years ago when visiting my sister in Tennesee and there were some pretty cool concept/one off cars there.

I've had that happen before too but found it was because someone else had posted and I didn't wait for the "someone else has posted , do you want to read it before you post" message ( or something to that effect) Then when I went back at a later time my post was gone because it never really got posted. Thought maybe this is what happened to you? :dunno:

I actually changed my settings so that doesn't happen...Eliminate the notification of that situation.

And that could have been the case Brad. Makes sense anyway.
